Wildland firefighters get new radios, just like they always do

The US government is buying new radios for its wildland fire management staff in the Midwest. This is a standard purchase of equipment for ongoing operations.

This is a routine purchase of existing equipment. It does not change how the government buys radios, what kind of radios it buys, or how wildland fire management operates. No new standards are set, and no new capabilities are introduced.
